Experience the captivating fusion of Peach Green Tea, where the invigorating essence of premium green tea meets the juicy allure of ripe peaches from Peach Syrup. Peach Green Tea offers a revitalizing escape that balances the brisk notes of green tea with the natural sweetness of peaches.
Is Peach Green Tea Sweet?
Yes, peach green tea typically has a naturally sweet and fruity flavor due to the presence of ripe peaches that are infused in the Peach Syrup. This iced tea is made using honey instead of refined sugar, which brings an earthly more subtle sweetness.
The combination of the mild sweetness of peaches and the earthy notes of green tea often creates a harmonious and pleasing taste profile. You’ll love to savor every sip of this tea.
Ingredients Needed
- Fresh Peaches – Using fresh peaches when making the peach syrup for the tea ensures a vibrant and authentic flavor. Fresh peaches contribute their natural sweetness, juiciness, and aromatic essence to the syrup. You can also use frozen peaches if fresh ones are out of season.
- Honey – Honey’s unique sweetness enhances the overall taste, balancing the fruity notes of peaches and the earthy tones of green tea. I like to use honey instead of refined sugar and I also prefer the taste.
- Matcha – Using ceremonial-grade matcha in peach green tea elevates the tea’s quality and taste. This premium matcha boasts a vibrant green color, rich umami flavor, and smooth texture. When combined with peach’s sweetness, it creates a harmonious balance that enhances the overall drinking experience.
- Soda Water – Adding a splash of soda water to iced peach green tea imparts a sparkling and refreshing twist. The effervescence of soda water invigorates the drink, creating a lively and bubbly sensation on the palate, but it is optional.
How to Make Peach Green Tea
- Make the peach syrup. Add the water, 2 tablespoons of the honey, and peach sliced to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until the peaches have softened. You can also make a large batch of Peach Syrup to keep on hand.
- Prepare the tea. Bring the 4 ounces of water to a soft boil and add the matcha. Using a whisk or frother mix the matcha into the heated water. Once fully combined add the remaining honey and mix it into the tea.
- Assemble the drink. Fill your desired glass with ice and pour the peach syrup into the bottom of the glass.
- Add the green tea. Very slowly pour the green tea over the syrup filling the glass about 3/4 full.
- Top it off with soda water. Add a splash of soda water to the top of the glass to add a fizzy finish.
